Happy 46th Birthday Ms Yo!

Thanks! You are so sweet You will do it!! Let me know if you ever need anything! XOXO

Thank you so much Meshelle!!!!! You are such a beautiful lady, even before the lapband!!!! Congratulations again on your magnificent success!!!! I was banded on 16 June '09 and I've lost 16.5 lbs so far. I have 60 more to go to reach my 1st goal of 150lbs. Being that I'm so short (5' 3.5") my IBW is actually about 140. By looking at your gorgeous pictures, I want to believe I "can do it"!!!! You are truly an inspiration to me!!!! Take Care and stay beautiful!!!!

Im coming up on 1 yr with the lapband and im almost down 120 pnds... so yes.... You will get to your goal in no time... i started at 275 and im 155 now... good luck!!

Hi Anntte, Thanks for the friendship request! Welcome the "land of Lap Band"!!! Have you actually been banded yet? When? I noticed through your conversations with others you were having some transportation issues; did you get everything worked out? I hope so. I was banded June 16, 2009 and I've lost 8 lbs so far. I lost 8.5 lbs pre-op. So, a total of 16.5 lbs so far. Still have a VERY long way to go, but at least I'm on my way....I haven't started an exercise regimen yet, but I'm sure the weight will begin to come off that much faster when I do. Good Luck in your journey.

Thanks so much for the nice compliments on my pictures. I really appreciate them. The best advice I can give you is stick with the program and follow the rules. In the beginning I had a journal and wrote down everything I ate. My doctor always says "if you bite, write it" and it really helped me out. Exercise is really important too. I really saw a difference on the scale each month when I kept up with my exercise routine. Good luck and keep up the good work.

Awe, you'r a sweet heart. Thank you so much for the compliments and I hope you succeed in your goals. Most important, make sure you form a habbit in excersize. This will help with excess skin when you reach your goal. The dresses =] I got the one in the picture with my sister from wet seal and the other one from artwalk from jc pennys.

Have a wonderful day!

Oh, you are so very welcome!!! And "thank you" for wishing me luck! I need it!!!!! I would love to post some pics, but I'm not really that computer "savvy". LOL!!! So, I haven't mastered that part yet. I'll keep at it though, and eventually I'll be able to get some pics posted.

Have a good night and Thanks for being a real inspiration to me!

Hi Anitra! I just viewed your before and after pictures. Girl, you look great! Congratulations on your success. How much weight have you lost total? I was just banded 11 days ago. I've only lost 6 lbs post-op. I lost 8.5 lbs pre-op. So, currently I weigh 212. I'm 5'3.5" and my goal weight is 150 lbs. I haven't really started a serious exercise regimen yet, but I know how important it will be for successful weight loss. Well, email me back if you have a chance. I just wanted to say "congratulations for a job very well done"!!!

Thanks for the picture comment! i did a lot of emotional work pre-op and I think that is what has helped me. i hear of a lot of struggles people have post-op and I think I did it all before surgery b/c it seems to be smooth sailin for now! only thing I'm not allowed for 21 more days is carbs. Other than that I can eat anything, in moderation. It's working out well!!! good luck w/ your process you should post pics!
